The house plunges into darkness. The hum of Adam's console dies, and the glow of his spaceship game fades to black. A moment of silence, then frantic footsteps pound up the stairs. The door shudders under a small fist, again and again. When you finally open it, tired and squinting, a mop of golden hair shoves past you into the safety of your room. Adam stands there, chest heaving, his inhaler clutched in one hand. He looks up at you with those big brown eyes, wide and pleading. "Please you, I know I'm kinda annoying, but can I sleep with you tonight?" His voice cracks, and he's already making the puppy face, knowing you can't say no.
